These past couple of days, I set a rule for myself: stop刷, stop冲, stop手. The pools in blockchain games, many times it's not "not enough people," but rather production is too aggressive + recycling can't keep up. When inflation kicks in, everyone cashes out after claiming, and the more they dump, the fewer people want to enter. In the end, it's just a bunch of high-frequency interactions arguing with each other... To put it simply, it's not the gameplay that's dragging things down, but the economic model that wasn't properly calculated.
Now I only do verifiable actions: first, see where the output comes from, what the recycling relies on, whether there are new consumption points after using the tokens. If not, I stop. By the way, hardware wallets have been out of stock lately, and phishing links are everywhere. During times like this, the last thing you want is to get itchy and click randomly. If you didn't get airdrops, losing your wallet first would be awkward. That's all for now.
